A Guardian in a Passerby

Time likes to flirt with me
 He knows I'm watching as he passes
 He is merciless with my lust
 He won't give me the satisfaction of glancing back my way
 I can't seem to get enough of the way he tastes
 It's like I'm always watching him
 Watching him walk away
 It's true Time will never stop for me
 And he might not even be there when I need him at the end
 But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me
 Don't give up on me
 I reach for him and he pushes away
 It seems just when I feel him in my hands he's tempted to release
 Please hold onto me
 When he is not always so cautious
 I can see he cares
 Sometimes he visits on long nights when I'm lonely
 He might be inconsistent
 But at least he's faithful
 I know he'll always be back
 In the meantime I can handle this whirlwind life
 It's true time will never stop for me
 And he might not even be there when I need him at the end
 But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me
 Don't give up on me
 I reach for him and he pushes away
 It seems just when I feel him in my hands he's tempted to release
 Please hold onto me
 He leaves a note when he sneaks away
 In the middle of the night
 It's these mornings I wish he would protect me from the world
 There is no greater strength than time
 Well he can't be bothered when he's busy
 He's gone more often lately and for longer
 I have always wanted the unattainable
 But it's not like me to depend so on a man
